My name is The Mixtress, I'm addicted to Alias.


The show's far from realistic, but I can't help but watch the damn thing! Jennifer Garner looks sexy as fuck in every persona they throw at her...she rocks. And I can't stop watching Melissa George try to overcome her tremendous overbite :shock: It's mesmerising!

Cheaters - what a poor excuse for a TV show.

I caught some of this last night. ArrBee had to explain what was happening to me, that the gist of the show is tail someone and film them, show their partner the video of the infidelity, then CONFRONT the guilty party!

This is reality TV gone nasty. I wasn't sure if I should feel glad or sad that the host got stabbed with a fishing knife and had to be hospitalised after a confrontation with a "bad guy". :s

I have a TV gripe.

Who in blazes is making TV ads these day? What target market/demographic are they trying to reach with some of these commercials?

For example, the Airwick room fresheners ad with the cartoon bandicoot or whatever she is...the one with the extraordinarily annoying high pitched voice. They're obviously aiming at housewives on this one, what with the feather dusting etc. Why would a marketing company think that a bandicoot is a selling tool? What self respecting person would buy Airwick products on the strength of that commercial? Who says "awww, that cute little animal enjoys a fresh smelling home...let's buy some"?

And I'm not even going into the tittie ad's for 19 FLIRT etc, they defy logic. :roll: (and gravity)

Rant over.
